Trust is always a tough task when people prove to be less than trustworthy, but the story encourages people to take a leap of faith and not be as isolated, guarded and stubborn as those we're afraid we can't truth. In a time where our world seems more divided than ever, it probably couldn't be much more timely. The story revolves heavily around the theme of trusting people and unification. It then becomes Raya's mission to find if Sisu still exists and try to unite the pieces of the orb to defeat The Druun again and release those turned to stone. The orb ended up in the hands of the Heart land to keep safe, where it remained until the other tribes fought over it, splitting the orb into pieces and releasing The Druun once again.
This released the humans from stone, but not the other dragons. In an effort to defeat The Druun, legend said that a mighty dragon named Sisu harnessed her magical powers into an orb to defeat The Druun. The legend has it that dragons once roamed the land, but a dark plague called The Druun swept over Kumandra, turning people and dragons to stone. The film's story revolves around five very different tribes who live in disharmony (after formerly being united as Kumandra), and Raya's father from the land of Heart believes they can be united together once again. There may be some familiar elements here and there in Raya and the Last Dragon, but for the most part, it's a pretty unique original story that is inspired by Southeast Asia. In the same vein as films like Mulan, Kung Fu Panda and How to Train Your Dragon, Raya and the Last Dragon is a fantasy adventure that explores Asian culture, as well as the myth of dragons, merging the two in a unique way. But all along, Disney's own features have kept that element of being for the whole family - parents and children alike - and their latest entry, the action/adventure fantasy Raya and the Last Dragon is a great example of this. In the end, some of the movies end up being far more appealing to the adults than the children they're expected to target. Pixar's top quality craft often goes beyond what you'd expect from family entertainment, covering serious and deep emotional themes. Thankfully, in recent years, with hits like Frozen, Wreck-It Ralph (and its quirky sequel), and Big Hero 6, Disney's own in-house animation studio has proven they can not only produce great features, but they can arguably rival what Pixar has been releasing. While Pixar was on the rise, Disney seemed to struggle to release computer animated movies from their own studio that could match the caliber of the ones coming out of Pixar ( Chicken Little, anyone?).
